60BConnect vConverter to XenServer
In the first part of this process, you configure vConverter to connect to XenServer. In the
second part, you configure VA to help vConverter write to the Xen host. It is critical that
you test your connection before beginning a conversion to XenServer. Without proper
credentials, conversions will fail.
1. Select Tools→Preferences→Xen Server.
2. Click Add.
3. Enter the IP address of the XenServer.
4. With non-root credentials, populate the Root password and Verify root password
fields. By default, vConverter populates the Username field.
Note: VMware does not allow remote root connections.
5. Select the Enable VA feature checkbox.
6. Click Advanced. Make any necessary changes on the Advanced properties dialog
and click OK.
Note: These settings should only be changed if the port numbers are incorrect for
your network. If this is the case, vConverter will not be able to communicate with
the Xen Server.
7. To configure vConverter to use VA to write to the XenServer, click VA Config.
